A report was current yesterday both up
and down town that o petition was circulating
among lawyers and customs brokers asking
the Secretary OF tho Treasury to remove Col
iector Magone. A Arm Of lawyers In the Equi-
table building was said to have charge OF the
petltion. Tho sonior member Of tho firm de-
MED that no or any member OF his arm was
Interested In the petition, but he and other
lawyers whose names had been incidentally
mentioned said that they wouldn't DO at all
surprised to hear that such petition was In
circulation. They said that clients OF theirs had
been discourteously treated by tho Collector.
, Il was learned that tho personal feeling OF
the lawyers and Custom House brokers, and
incidentally Of their clients, proceeded. among
other things from Mr.. Magone's understand
ing OF the proper methods Of disbursing the
refunded duties under the Oberteufer decision.
